I started this project in May of last year, making 56 squares of different stitch types

By January, I had all the squares put together and I added three rows of crochet border. Most of the ends are tucked in by now.

to give you an idea of just how big this blannet is now, that is a double bed that it is lying on for this picture

otn- a beautiful turquoise blanket in moss stitch (for previously mentioned cousin's coming second child, due late july 2012)
FO- a few hats in the round(just taught myself to join without twisting)
to try next- an entrelac blanket with yarn someone gave my mom
something else fun- making a blanket in the round

yes it was fun, although some of the patterns lend themselves better to a blanket than others
I did seed stitch, bordered stickinette, garter stitch, knit two rows purl two rows, and mock rib
some of these stitch patterns I got off of lion brand
and I agree, who says size matters when it comes to baby blankets?
